Pope Leo XIV met seven French clerical abuse survivors in Lourdes on Sunday, reaffirming his commitment to ending child abuse by priests, the Vatican said. The two-hour private meeting came after the pope urged the Church to heal its "deep wounds." A 2021 inquiry found 330,000 French children had been abused by clergy.
